The oriental greens and radishes I planted in a half wine barrel with the umbrella greenhouse are ready to eat. This photo was actually taken March 23. The greens were starting to bolt so I had to take the greenhouse off and leave them to sweeten up in the cool air. Now they are ready and deliciously spicy!

I think I’ll have a great crop of radishes in a few weeks with this warm sunny weather we have been having and my wonderful umbrella greenhouses. I planted these just a few weeks ago and I already have to thin my seedlings.

The lettuce and peas I’m growing under the other greenhouses are also doing really well. I can’t wait for spring salad season!

Outdoors I’ve sown lettuce, radishes and peas in wine barrels. These great clear umbrellas make great pop up greenhouses!
